Flickering 3rd brake light

Flickering 3rd brake light
I was wondering if anyone has had this issue. The led 3rd brake light on my 13 c6 flickers about 5 times before staying lit. I know there is a flasher module that does this but this flickers pretty rapidly and also it doesnt have any sort of delay like the flasher would in such a case for stop and go traffic. It will do it any time you push the pedal down. Any ideas?
I'm thinking about pulling the light out tomorrow to see what i can find but was wondering what everyone else had to say

Sounds like some kind of a flasher module was added to the light. I've seen them before. Supposed to get your attention faster when you follow behind it.

As long as you're fiddling back there, check the main harness connector. Should be accessible right below the inside passenger side tail light.
Look at post 6 in here for what the connector looks like: (the pic is turned 90 degrees)

And look at post 25 in here for example of what the corrosion looks like that causes the problems:

ya guys u had thought of the flasher module. onyl thing is that most of them have a delay in them where if you push the pedal in within 15 seconds of the last time the brake light wont flicker.... mine flickers no matter when you push the pedal in.
where would that pulser be mounted? I'm assuming it plugs into the 3rd brak light itself thus I need to pull the light? Whta connection has the corrosion issue like posted? Is that the one right on the brake light itself.
